Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 22, 1906.

Application filed October 7, 1905. Serial No. 281,723.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM DIEMER, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and forth in the claims,

In the drawing I have shown a perspective View of a childs carriageembodying my invention.

A is a push-frame of any suitable form having a suitable handle-bar A atthe upper end and wheels 0 at the lower end, secured to the framethrough the medium of springs B and axles C. The springs B are formed oftwo or more C-springs b and b,having one end of each secured to eachother and to the frame by any suitable means, preferably by a bolt orrivet a, and their free ends rolled and secured together by the bolt a.The C-springs are of different lengths and radii, and one of them,preferably the longer or lower, is secured to the axle C by means of therivet c.

Pivoted on the push-frame A is the seatframe D, carrying the seat D, andto the rear corners of this frame D are secured springs E, attached toaxles E and wheels 6. The springs'E are of the same construction as thesprings B and are secured to the axle E and frame D in a similar manner.

Secured to the frame A are brackets F for holding the lower ends of thearms F, which are secured to the upper portions of the frame A. Mountedin epending brackets G on the frame A is a cross-bar G, carrying thebrake-actuating means H, and the brakes H are pivoted on dependingportions of the brackets F, as shown in the drawing. As these featuresare not a part of thisinvention, I will not further describe them, andal-, though the childs carriage I have shown is of the folding type itis obvious that the springs could be used on any form of childs carriagewithout departing from the scope of my invention.

The side-bars of the seat-frame D and pushframe A have their lower endsbent laterally at right angles to form arms D and A respectively. -Thesebent ends connect with t e rear and front cross-bars D and Arespectively, and the ends of the C-springs are secured in the angles.The rivets (1 thus serve to secure the springs, the frame, and thecrossbar all together.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. In a childs carriage, thecombination with a push-frame and a front axle connected thereto, of aseat-frame pivoted on said ushframe and having its lower ends bentaterally to form an angle, a rear axle, springs comprising pairs ofC-springs, each pair being secured together at one end and attached tosaid rear axle at an intermediate point on one of said C-springs, andmeans for securing the other ends of each pair together and to theangled ends of said seat-frame.

2. In a childs carriage, the combination with frames secured togetherand having their lower ends bent laterally, of front and rear axles andsprings comprising pairs of C- springs, each pair being secured togetherat their ends and secured to one of said axles at an intermediate pointon one of the springs, one end of each pair of springs being secured tothe angled end of one of said frames, for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM DIEMER. Witnesses:
